White Chocolate Lemon Profiteroles

This past weekend seemed like it was just a big ole' failure for me when it came to cooking.

It seemed like everything I made came out disappointing.

A Word With One of Austin's Finest

Hello everyone! This post is a very special post. Why?  I am very excited to have gotten the opportunity to ask one of Austin's top chefs a couple of questions, and here I present to you the questions and the answers.

The chef I interviewed has been awarded Food & Wine magazines best new chef, has already been nominated for a James Beard award and again is a semi-finalist for a James Beard award in 2 categories: Rising Star Chef and Best Chef Southwest. This man is a culinary genius, and along with all his praise he happens to be one of my culinary heroes.

Roasted Pork Loin with Goat Cheese and Spinach Pesto (A.K.A. "The Green Monster")

Ask and you will be answered. Do and you will receive.

See that up there? I came up with that by myself. Just add that to my resume, Sarah Freytag "philosopher".

Okay, maybe not that far, but I think a lot of people could use this advice.

Italian Cream Prune Cake

Do you ever have one of those days where you just cannot think or have any inspiration for anything? All your ideas seem stupid and you can't decide what to make?

That was me the day I made this cake.

Edamame Pesto Quinoa Salad

Did everyone have a nice Valentines Day? 

Judging from all the people that came into the restaurant I work at that day, it was either great or awful.

I felt bad, our first customer came in complaining about how much roses and chocolate were... Poor fella. 

However, it was nice seeing cute couples come in all lovey dovey with each other. It makes me hopeful that maybe some marriages will last.
